The award up for grabs is in relation to the People First Community Champions Award (€10,000) which is held in connection with Laois County Council and  Public Participation Network, Laois.


The prize pot is given to local projects and groups that have made a difference to people living within the community and last year Portlaoise Tidy Towns were the winners.

We want to acknowledge our team's hard work and innovation in connecting with our community and enhancing our services. Fingers crossed for the finals."
